[R-pkg-devel] Two problems with fda

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Duncan et al.:


	  I passed Duncan's suggestions to Jim Ramsay, who implemented 
something -- not sure what -- and "fda_6.0.3.tar.gz has been built for 
Windows and will be published within 24 hours in the corresponding CRAN 
directory"!  (Thanks, Duncan!)


	  My attempts to fix ".github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml" have so far 
been unsuccessful:


https://github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/commit/3dd1938d95055ed798a8b6caebcfe0eb8a03668b


	  For me currently, yaml = "yet another misunderstood language" ;-) 
And I've misplaced Yihui Xie's recommendations on how to ask for help. 
I remember he suggested submitting a question first to Stack Exchange or 
Stack Overflow or ..., but I can't find those recommendations, so I 
thought I'd here thank Avraham Adler <avraham.adler using gmail.com> and 
everyone else who has considered replying to this question, hoping that 
someone can help me take the next step.


	  Thanks again,
	  Spencer Graves
